I have a child free night and currently drinking cocktails. DP is out, will probably be back around 8ish. Life is very stressful (asd child) so in my own nice little world. DP probably moan when he’s home because I’ve been drinking, oh well☺️ hardly falling over the place. Happy Saturday🍻

I too have the day to myself. I'm binge watching Fisk on Netflix.

A day well spent.

cocoapple · 27/01/2024 17:39

@CharlotteStreetW1 Is it good? Watched everything I’ve wanted to watch on Netflix so been looking!

Mmmm cocktails. I am drinking tea and having a bath lol

ThePoshUns · 27/01/2024 17:41

Sounds lovely OP.
Fisk is so funny, would recommend.
I'm going to a family party later.

GintyMcGinty · 27/01/2024 17:42

I've spent the day building IKEA furniture.

Currently snuggled on the sofa with DD watching Charmed.

Waiting on DH to make the tea.

cocoapple · 27/01/2024 17:43

@KylieMinnow Ooooh a bath sounds lovely! Had one earlier…the first one I’ve had in a while without being disturbed🤣

@ThePoshUns Have a great night!

I'm sat on the sofa listening to the record player for a bit of downtime before I make some pasta and meatballs. I'm 24 weeks pregnant and DH is in work until dinner so I'm enjoying some peace while teen DCs are in their rooms on their computers.

cocoapple · 27/01/2024 17:48

@restingrichface Sounds lovely, peace and quiet👌🏼 Contratulations👶🏻

I'm led in bed hiding from the toddler. DH is flavour of the day and I'm making the most of it 😂

cocoapple · 27/01/2024 18:00

@willsandnoodle love that🤣 unfortunately DP is never flavour of the day😒🤣

Where is DH and why will he moan? Sod him you deserve a break. Enjoy the cockos! (I'm very jealous!)

coxesorangepippin · 27/01/2024 18:25

Exactly wtf are you with somebody so controlling for? You're equals. Unless you'd agreed to drive him somewhere he has absolutely no reason to be the slightest bit annoyed. LTB

cocoapple · 27/01/2024 18:30

no idea what his problem is😬 just waiting for him to get home…he’ll be around half an hour😬 kind of nervous what he’s going to say

Flatleak · 27/01/2024 18:32

Well this thread took an unpleasant turn.

cocoapple · 27/01/2024 18:36

@Flatleak I know I’m sorry! Urgh might as well spill my heart out here while I’ve got it in my head..So I’m pretty unhappy right now with my day to life. Life with asd DS is miserable. Love him to bits obviously but very unhappy with day to day life. This drunk feeling is the only escape I have. Then got a knob who’s coming home to give me a lecture

OP posts:
teaandtoastwithmarmite · 27/01/2024 18:36

Ok this thread has quite a significant underlying turn to it. I sensed that in your first post. No I don't have a controlling partner OP. Is everything ok? Would you like to talk about it? X

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 27/01/2024 18:37

Sorry cross post. Why is having a drink your only escape and why would DP be cross about that? You don't have your child right now?

TheChosenTwo · 27/01/2024 18:39

I could see this thread turning before it actually did.
Why are you still with him? It’s a genuine question, not a sarcy one. Can you afford to live without him?

cocoapple · 27/01/2024 18:40

@teaandtoastwithmarmite yes please don’t have anyone else x

@teaandtoastwithmarmite no I don’t have my dc they are with their nana over night I dont know why it’s my only escape it’s the only time I can be myself I guess x

Tell your DP is piss off back out.

mondaytosunday · 27/01/2024 18:42

I also have a child free night! DD is at a girlie sleepover. Sooooo - actually not much different than normal Saturday night! I'll cook some dinner, open a bottle and watch some TV in front of the fire. Thinking of the latest True Detectives series with Jodie Foster. Can't really have a lie in tomorrow as I have four pets and DD being a teen isn't up early anyway if she was here, but no rush as I can let them out the back first thing (and go back to bed)!

cocoapple · 27/01/2024 19:07

walking To the shop to get away from him
